If you got a ticket for having tint too dark (i.e. illegal) then you were breaking the law. The cop did just what you want him to do, bust people who are breaking the law. Play with matches and you're likely to get burned. Tint laws are in place for a variety of reasons, one is for cops to see through the car but also if you lose visibility out of your vehicle it becomes more dangerous to drive. It kinda goes along with mirror laws, too few mirros and you'll get a ticket too.

The ride height thing is a little extreme. I wonder if a vette qualifies for it? Those are pretty damn low out of the factory and have problems with many speed bumps. I could make up reasons why they have the law, but I don't know. When did it become law? Was it 90's or later, or is it an old law sticking around from back in the day?

VA has some even more ridiculous laws. IIRC it's illegal to put a bathtub on the 2nd storey of a house. Of course nobody follows it, it's just an old law from way back when that never was taken off the books.

TX. Thou shalt drive a Maibatsu Monstrocity. 85% of vehicle noise must be from the roar of the mud tires, 15% from a Flowmaster. Ok, so I'm making this up.....
